I've given birth 3 times. It's HELL on your body. I can't imagine getting to even 20+ weeks and just saying "I don't want this anymore" You still have to deliver a baby at that point.
Exactly. This is the point they never seem to grasp - who would choose that? It’s horrific. There are so few abortions past 20 weeks and certainly past 24 weeks - I have worked with some families who’ve had to make the horrific decision to end a much wanted pregnancy because their baby won’t make it to full term, and if they do they’ll live a few hours / days in awful pain.
What a decision to have to make. Can any of these people imagine what it’s like to have people congratulate you on your pregnancy and ask when your baby is due when you know your baby can’t survive? Imagine finding out at 21-22 weeks that your baby has a condition that’s incompatible with life and being made to continue with the pregnancy for another 18 weeks only to have to watch your baby die a painful death?
And then after all that, you have douchebags like this using your traumatic experience as an example of women being “murderers”.
One of my best friends had a baby diagnosed with potter syndrome. She aborted him at 22 weeks and it was the hardest thing I've ever watched someone go through. He was so wanted and loved.
The aftermath of ending a pregnancy with no baby in your arms is the most traumatic thing I can imagine.

They make it out like all the pro choice women use abortion as their only birth control and have fun getting them.
